I am undecided on the Jarrett Jack trade too. I think he was pretty good.

Plus Doug Collins is a veteran coach that is renowned for getting the most out of a roster (for the first couple of years). I also thought Evans would be much better, as a rookie. I was actually very surprised at their poor start this year.
Indiana, too, has far more talent than the Raptors. Granger is a borderline All-Star, and getting Collison was a good deal for them. They have a solid front line and I really like Paul George. I think they are setting themselves up for mediocrity with the roster they have, but that's much better than the Raptors, right now.
I really don't understand what you guys saw, quite frankly. I really thought 30 games was really their ceiling.

And the trade of Jack just made it even better, Calderon was able to play his game without the fear of sharing playing time.
If there were no injuries, id say we probably wouldve competed and secured the 8th spot in the east.
No offense to the others but its always a lot easier to predict failure rather than success. Nobody wouldve predicted that the Spurs, with their aging roster, be at the top of the standings right now, as well as the Bulls leading the east over Boston and Orlando. I have no doubt we couldve supplanted both the sixers and pacers for the 7th and 8th spot, again, given a healthy/full roster.
You may have thought a playoff seed was a possibility, but looking at the roster, I certainly didn't. There's not player on the roster that you know would start for a contender, you knew the defense was going to be a big problem with the personnel they had, and they'd just lost their best player, the won who could only take the team to 40 wins.
As for the Spurs, I didn't project them to be where they are, but I certainly predicted them to be one of the contending teams. Again, I looked at the roster and tried to make a realistic projections.
edit: I just noticed that I predicted 28 wins, not 27.Last edited by Tim W.; Fri Apr 8, 2011, 12:59 PM.

I don't care if you don't , you can go watch baseball with Mango. Sorry, I like basketball". Why even bring up my name? What does me going to a baseball game have anything to do with your point? I'd stop trying to stir the pot if I were you.

I hated all the "espn doesn't respect TO because they predicted the raptors 2nd last" whining at the beginning of the year.
